The manager originally wanted to ask Shen Tang why he bought Lao Chu. That old thing was not pleasant, but when the shopkeeper said this, he realized it.
His expression was a little more kind.
"You want to buy Lao Chu? Okay, the price is negotiable." He took the initiative to lower his psychological price, "Three liang, what do you think?"
Bookshop shopkeeper: "Three taels? This is too expensive!"
The manager was making calculations, took out a heavy yellowed old book, and opened one of the pages: "Originally it was five taels, but now it's just three taels because we have known each other for many years. Here, look, I bought it back then. When I was old Chu, it was just one, two, two!”
Shopkeeper: "Why is it so expensive?"
The boss hummed: "You thought the market was like what it was like five years ago? If you buy a decent-looking girl now and lower the price, you can get two hundred cents. This kind of market was unimaginable five years ago. It didn't exist back then. It's a war. It costs only five taels to buy an individual, and the better ones cost ten or twenty taels! Lao Chu's batch was still infected by the plague and had to be sold at a low price, and they also received one or two taels."
According to the rules of Goulanwashi, regardless of whether it is a listed brother or sister, or a handyman or maid doing chores, a premium of three to five times is normal. If it is a top-notch or popular potential stock, a premium of hundreds of times is rare. Normally, otherwise, how much money would you make?
Lao Chu, who had bought it for 1 or 2 in the past, now sells it for 4 or 8 at the lowest price, so the manager shouted at 3 liang, which was very conscientious.
It's not all about the shopkeeper's face.
As a common man, he certainly has a treacherous and greedy side, but he also has a soft-hearted, kind and gentle side.
When he heard that Shen Tang was here to redeem "Aweng", his first reaction was not to take the opportunity to kill him but to imagine a touching family ethics drama - a collection of family fortunes, blood separation, reunion after a long separation, and sharing. Family relationships and other popular factors.
After Lao Chu was bought back, he worked in the back kitchen of Yuehua Building for four or five years. Over the years, he worked conscientiously without making any mistakes, and his hands and feet were quite nimble. In addition to being taciturn and having a bad temper, he was not gregarious and did not please people. There are no other big problems.
Now his family has found him and wants to buy him back to fulfill his filial piety. It can be regarded as Lao Chu's hard work. This is his blessing. He does not have to do evil things for a little money and prevent his family from reuniting. This can be regarded as a sign of good deeds. .
When the manager saw the shopkeeper's hesitation, he said again: "Don't make things difficult for me. If you charge too little, it will be difficult for me to deal with the boss."
The shopkeeper sighed, knowing that the price could no longer be negotiated. Shen Tang, who was silent at the side, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his purse and placed them in front of the boss: "Weigh them and see if they are enough."
The boss felt good about her when he saw her so happy.
Secretly sighing, this is such a filial child.
If he is beautiful and filial and kind, Lao Chu will be blessed in the future.
He collected the broken silver, carefully weighed it and found that there was still a lot. He took some scissors and cut off some of the silver. When he had no more than three taels of silver, he collected the silver scraps and took out Lao Chu's deed of betrayal. He said: "Now there is still time. Morning, do you want to go to the government office to transfer the ownership?"
Shen Tang shook his head: "No."
The shopkeeper said angrily: "Ah, what kind of household is this?"
Shen Tang: "..."
I don’t want to transfer ownership simply because I was originally a black householder!
Previously, the two of them had just imagined that Mr. Chu was her "grandfather", but now they are blatantly saying it???
The boss slapped his forehead and said: "Yes, I almost forgot about this, but I have to take time to make up for it later."
The corner of Shen Tang's mouth twitched: "Well, I will remember it."
The manager waved to someone: "Go, go to the kitchen and call Lao Chu over. Tell him that his granddaughter is here to take him home and enjoy his life."
As for Mr. Chu who was bought and sold...
It's not important.
Shen Tang put away the body deed, which was yellowed and covered with paper scraps, and secretly decided that after she finished learning her skills, this body deed would be used as tuition fees for Mr. Chu and returned to him free. She would pay for the old man's food and clothing. Responsible, after all, she is not a devil capitalist.
therefore--
When Mr. Chu was sitting in the back kitchen, brushing the dishes piled up last night with a numb expression on his face, when he heard this shouting, his old and weathered face was distorted for a moment. He seemed to have tinnitus, and he grabbed his hand to confirm again: " Who? What granddaughter?"
The person in charge of delivering the message smiled and said: "Your granddaughter has come to ask you to leave. This old man's hard life has come to an end."
Mr. Chu was confused: "..."
When he met his "granddaughter" who had never been masked and fell from the sky, his expression almost lost control again.
Do you call this young man your granddaughter?
The manager patted Mr. Chu on the shoulder and said to him with a moved expression: "Old Chu, pack up your things and follow your baby. Don't keep your family waiting too long."
Alas, the most touching and precious scene in today's world is undoubtedly a family reunion, sharing a family relationship.
This scene is very touching even when I think about it.
Mr. Chu had a dull expression on his face.
Shen Tang looked at him with the same expressionless expression.
"I gave you the ransom money, do you want to come with me?"
She suddenly felt guilty, and when she thought about it, it was disrespectful to Mr. Chu to buy someone away without permission.
Mr. Chu: "...Do you really want to take me away?"
Shen Tang opened her mouth, inexplicably feeling that her next answer should be more careful and not hasty.
But then I thought about it, there was only one choice in this problem. She had already paid all the money, wouldn’t it be a huge loss if she didn’t take the person away?
So, Shen Tang nodded heavily.
"Yes, come with me!"
There are three taels of silver!
We can't waste time!
In the past, she had paid prostitutes for nothing, and the ink in her belly and the knowledge in her mind, not to mention a few taels, she had not paid even three cents.
After the words fell, the atmosphere was stiff and weird.
The shopkeeper felt something was wrong. Before he could figure it out, Mr. Chu reacted first. He nodded calmly: "Well, okay, let me pack my clothes and wait for a while."
Seeing Mr. Chu turn around and go back to the backyard to pack his clothes, the shopkeeper of the bookstore asked the manager: "Did this old man get beaten up while working here? He looked dumbfounded, as if he had an old man's disease. Take this kind of thing back with you." It's not easy to take care of her, she keeps suffering."
The boss rolled his eyes: "We are making dirty money, but we are not inhumane. If we don't work and we go hungry, we don't need to beat people."
Unless it's something like running away and stealing money, you won't have a long memory if you don't fight.
Lao Chu has been very obedient since he was beaten. Why was he beaten?
The other side.
Watching Gong Cheng drink the medicine and fall asleep, Guer and the young man left one after another. When the wooden door closed behind him, his demeanor changed. His delicate and mean-looking face added a bit of majesty.
He said: "I didn't expect that Brother Yunchi would have a day when he didn't know anything. Since he doesn't know anything, it's in vain for us to ask, so we might as well go and check it ourselves. Mr. Gu, send someone to keep an eye on that Shen Tang... If this person No problem is the best. The nine Shen clans died in vain. This person and Brother Yunchi are the best evidence that Zheng Qiao’s tyranny has lost the hearts of the people. In the future, it will be justifiable for us to send troops to attack Zheng Qiao..."
Young man: "What if there is a problem?"
Guer said indifferently: "Then we'll get rid of it and leave no further trouble!"
After a pause, he added: "Also, we must pay attention to the news about Gong's fifth doctor, and report it as soon as there is news."
The young man narrowed his eyes and accepted the order: "Yes."
